Delivering for Rhode Island

Cicilline is Working Hard for Us

David Cicilline is working hard for us, helping thousands of Rhode Islanders cut through government red tape and gain access to Social Security, Health, Medicare and Veterans benefits owed to them. He’s worked to bring back hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding to Rhode Island, helping communities hire firefighters, provide resources to police officers, combat the opioid crisis, and complete bridge and highway projects that provide good paying jobs and improve our quality of life.

Fighting for Rhode Island

As a leader in Congress, David is fighting hard every day for what matters most to Rhode Islanders –

Defending affordable health care, and leading efforts to cut the cost of prescription drugs and drive down health insurance premiums.

Improving access to affordable, high-quality child care and early learning.

Standing strong against attempts to slash Social Security and Medicare, while protecting the pensions Rhode Islanders rely on to live their retirement in dignity.

Ending the corrupting influence of money in politics and refusing to accept campaign contributions from corporations.

Fixing our broken immigration system that harms our economy and our standing in the world.

Protecting consumers and small businesses by fighting to restore net neutrality.

Making Washington Work for All of Us

Like all Rhode Islanders, David Cicilline believes Washington should work for all of us, not just the powerful and well-connected. As your representative, David will continue to lead efforts to raise family incomes by making child care affordable, putting a college degree and certificate programs within financial reach, and driving down the cost of health insurance. He’ll keep fighting to support millions of jobs rebuilding our roads, highways, and schools; providing paid on-the-job training so more Rhode Islanders can access jobs in demand; and pursuing tax policies that prioritize permanent tax relief for working families, small business growth, and an end to benefits that encourage corporations to ship jobs overseas.
